Remember Walmart honors coupons. Yes, I know they say they don't do Black Friday ones, but some do..or don't care about the rule at 11AM when they were working since 6 PM (and best is the store is empty too) and that's how I got a 100 rounds of 45 ACP for $17.99 last year! :)

I might have to try that!
Also,Dick's uses deceptive advertising. That actual sale is buy one, get one 50% off. So really you're saving 25%, not the 50% that is implied.

That's why you go to Walmart! Discounts off Walmart pricing! :)

It's right before deer season so I think I'll be stocking up on some sabot rounds and 30-06 for the Garand...assuming Walmart has any non-hunting rounds for it.

I tend to stay away from the only nearby Dick's- it's located in a shopping mall a few miles North of where I live and if you attempt to buy ammo there (there's not much of a selection), the sales girls give you weird looks like you are planning to do something evil.

They seem to be more interested in selling the latest golf fashions and shoes.

I've noticed Dicks has about the worst ammo prices around. I participated in their black Friday sale 3 years ago. The prices were inflated.

From memory Wolf Military Classic 7.62x39 was $8 a box, Win white box 9mm was $15 a box and Rem gun club 12 gauge was $7 a box before discounts. Even with the coupon I could have went to just about any other normal place and gotten everything cheaper. So since I already had money set aside for ammo, that's what I did.

Gander has Glocks for $599 as well...but at least that isn't advertised as being a "sale"..... What is this coming to?.....

I, too, am grateful for the thread, Glockfan, but have this reservation: Let us say that I get up early on Black Friday and beat feet to my local Dicks and stand on line for a 10/22. Is it not true that the customers in line in front of me have to fill out forms and undergo a NICS check before they can walk out with their rifles, and that the paperwork takes 20 minutes or more per customer? How does this work out when masses of people want to purchase a rifle on Friday morning?

I guess I'll find out!

The prices Dicks locally wants for ammo is not really all that great, but there is one notable exception - CCI Standard Velocity .22lr. It is normally $25/500, so last year I picked up 1000 rounds for <40 OTD. It is hard to beat the $25/500 price even online, and CCI SV accuracy in many rifles is much better than the price would indicate.

I will not be purchasing any firearms on "Black Friday" in the year of
2012. Why? you asked - 2012 has not been too kind to me fella's; as you all
probably know, I lost the "love of my life" in August. Then, while she was ill,
I had too have [2] hernia surgery's myself (July 23rd, and Oct.3rd); and I
missed a few days pay. Therefore, bills have continued too mount; but with
the blessings of GOD and MY personal Saviour Jesus Christ, and friends like
you all - I'm making it~! Sometimes, I have to choose between eating or
meeting expenditures; especially the pharmacy bill, under ObamaCare~!

I'm not complaining, as I feel BLESSED; the GOOD LORD has taken care of
me. Many of the good blessings I received, I did not deserve~!!!! Even thou
my health is slipping; I'm still able to work my PT job. I do not want any type
of a "HANDOUT" from anyone; especially Mr. President. With all my problems,
this is my BABY; and I will go it alone, as GOD is GREAT~! Thank you all very
much~!

I personally view Black Friday thus:

Calculate the money you "saved" and compare that by the number of hours you spent acquiring it times what you make an hour. I am willing to be the hassle and time spent getting the "deals" doesn't equal what you would had made working for that time, and work IMHO is way less stressful. I actually multiply time by 3 times my hourly rate because I feel that is more representative of what would be fair compensation to deal with a mob but maybe that's just me.

If you work from home, and you can work as many hours as you want, whenever you want, while getting paid your full wage for every single minute, then the above MIGHT be relevant.

And I don't know about you, but researching ammunition or scopes or sites or other firearms accessories is not more stressful, for me, than work. The people I know would mostly agree, I think.

Boy, there sure are some old curmudgeons in here. Never thought a little crowd could turn off so many people! :rolleyes: But maybe it is just a little more low-key here in the midwest...

Anyhoo, I am very tempted to go for one of those 10/22's, especially since I have a synthetic stock and original factory trigger from my old 10//22 (before the lawyers had their way...) so I could make myself a nice li'l plinker.

However, the other thing that piqued my interest was at Gander Mountain. I know they are normally overpriced, what do these Nagant revolvers normally go for? I am always interested in cheap old surplus stuff and unique designs...would probably not shoot it. Just would be fun to have. Thoughts?

PS notice the error in the ad regarding cartridge...

It is either that, or go to fleet farm and get another Mosin 91/30 for $89.

Agreed. I got a Marlin 795 at Dick's when they had the rebate, and got the rifle for about $100 not counting tax. Felt like I was being tossed out of the store. And the check! I have a CCW, and they STILL had to call it in, and it took 20 minutes...even though with a CCW at any LGS you are good to go in NC.

I don't think they are ever going to have another firearm I want badly enough to go through that again.

The .50cal ammo cans at Bass Pro are ACTUALLY .30cal ammo cans. LAME!

They measure 11"x7"x4". Glad I read the ad again before getting up early.

Just a FYI before anyone else makes the mistake that I almost made tomorrow morning.

The best BF deal would be if an on-line store would offer to waive the hazmat fee (aka pay it themselves) on orders over, say, $200. Alas, no joy on that one.

Looks like I'll be braving the HRBT on Saturday for the SGK show and twice/year Bass Pro run. Sometimes I wonder why I bother since it'll cost me as much in gasoline, show entry, and lunch as I would have spent paying the hazmat fee on line. But it's a day knocking elbows with other shooters...

That is where I am headed now. The only black friday shopping I did was this shooting mat (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/276544/midwayusa-pro-series-competition-shooting-mat-pvc-coated-polyester-olive-drab). It was 29.99 yesterday. It was 45.99 all week until yesterday when it changed. Guess it went back today. Bummer. At 29.99 I couldn't pass it up. A fellow THR member from our range told me it would be on sale for black friday for $30. I am glad I checked it yesterday, and didn't wait for today to check. I'm gonna shoot an F Class match for the first time ever in February.

Noticed Dick's was selling the standard Ruger 10/22 for $179 on Friday and Saturday.

So yesterday morning (Thanksgiving Day) having morning coffee and talking to my wife. I never bother with Black Friday anything. Looking through the sales flyers in the paper and noticed Gander Mountain was selling the American Eagle 55 grain .223, 1,000 round cans for $349 (Cans may vary by location). They open at 9 AM.

Thinking I don't really need 1,000 rounds of .223 but what the hell. My wife asked if it was a good deal and I said good, not great but good. She suggested I get some and Gander Mountain is about a 15 min ride in traffic. I figure what the heck and decide to go. I got there at about 9:05 just after opening and it wasn't bad at all. Grabbed my boolits and checked out. I was home before 9:30 from my great shopping experience.

They were also selling the Nagant Revolvers for $100 and a few people were looking at them but I grabbed my can and left. I get home and my wife tells me I should have bought two. Go figure! :) I was not about to venture out again. For the hundred bucks I should have grabbed a Nagant just for the heck of it.

Anyway, once I shoot my way through this stuff I'll have more .223 brass to load. I guess I'll never say never as to getting myself out and about on a holiday to shop.

These people had advertised ammo at "buy one, get 2nd (of = or lesser value) 50% off", so I went in to check it out. Having a new-to-me .357 was looking for some HD/SD ammo and more of the same for my mother's .38 Special.

Black Friday sales are mostly the classic "Bait and Switch" con.Merchants advertise a very low price on an item to get you in the store. That's the bait. When you try to buy it, you're told "We just sold out of that item but we have this item that almost identical but costs more." That's the switch. Sportsmans Warehouse did this con today. They advertised a Hornady Lock'N'Load powder dispenser for $159.98. When my stepson tried to buy one 3 minutes after the store opened he was told they had already sold out. J.C. Penneys did the same thing to my wife this morning with a coffee maker. If we stopped acting like greedy children, merchants would stop running this con. In the words of the great H.L.Mencken:"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."

Some you punks tried to jump the line, and one older fella in front of us yelled them back, but not before my friend and I unzipped our coats to lend assistance (physically, not gun related). When the doors opened, the back of the line decided that they should come in too, lots of pushing. Oue reward was a Remington 700 adl/sps varmint in 308 for $350, after a $100 mail in rebate. It did however take until 3am to get checked out, and 4am to get home. I doubt I ever do it agian.

Well I woke up and went to Cabela's at 5am....the crowd was big but friendly. Took about 10 minutes to get in, I grabbed my two 500rnd ammo cans of .223 for $159 apiece and browsed a bit. Was tempted to look at the Nagant revolvers but they were already about 30-deep with their ticket number system, so I just checked out. I was out by about 5:30.

Then on my way back I swung by Dick's for their 2-for-1.5 deal. Unfortunately only 2 boxes of the brand I wanted left. Oh well. They actually had 3 10/22's left at that time, I took a quick look but decided against it. It was hard to resist, but I will hold off for a better deal and/or when I have a coupon I can use in addition to a deal.

Overall not a bad shopping experience on either front.

I bought the same gun last year in the first week of December. $449 with a $50 Remington rebate, $40 Dick's gift card, and $15 in reward credits. At 3 in the afternoon.

You did good for this year - saved about $150 dollars. That'll go a ways toward a new trigger and/or stock. I replaced both on mine after the first range trip, and now have a Choate sniper stock and a Jewell trigger - and an excellent bench gun.

I had a good black Friday at Academy. Went for the Taurus PT92 for $329. Got there at 4:30 AM, they went through the line and passed out 4473's to fill out.

When you were done they took your ID and got you cleared, then pulled you out of line and in a side door to the last register, which was setup for firearms sales exclusively. They had a gun safe right next to it with the handguns in it. Wham, bam, out of there at 5:05 AM.

This is only the second time I've done Academy's Black Friday, and this was much, much better that the one a couple of years ago.

Bought a pair of rear sights from 10-8 Performance at 15% off then perused the MidWay sales (no luck). I got an email from LA Police Gear advertising 15% off and was about to pull the trigger on a bipod. Wanting specs for the specific model I opened another browser window and discovered GG&G was offering 15% off + free shipping on all of their branded gear! I figure I saved about $60 on some gear I've really wanted for some time and I did it all in a single coffee break.

Next year's plan:

GG&G again for some black rifle goodness.
10-8 Performance for the M&P accessories I've been wanting.
Wilson Combat for ETM magazines.

Congratulations to those who saved a bit of coin on things to be enjoyed and to those who didn't pound the pavement I don't blame you a bit. A buddy at work endured 4 computer related crashes at Dunham's Sports after getting off the midnight shift. Went to pick up his rifle after going home to sleep and found out about the NICs crashes as well. Third trip was finally a charm but I suspect the gas wasted took care of the savings.

PS: I just finished loading 500 rounds for the AR at about $25/100 using (expensive) Hornady V-Max and all on single-stage presses. That in addition to the 40 S&W, 9mm and .45 gives me 900 rounds for the week. I reckon that's where my real savings come from and not just on Black Friday.

I picked up a Sig Sauer M400 MOE enhanced rifle for $867. They are listed for $1100 anywhere else I could find them. It was only me and another guy there for gun sales and he was buying a shotgun. I got there at 4:30 got out at 5:30 with my new rifle under my arm. I took it to the range on saturday and gave it a proper break in. I couldnt be happier.

I got a black friday deal yesterday!

A guy (investor?) purchased a few Remington 700 Varmints for $400 and sold them for $450 (Including one to me....) Not a GREAT deal, but no tax or paperwork needed so I saved at least $75.....

I got a couple of good deals myself. First was the Ruger 10/22 at Dick's for $179. I got there almost at midnight (went to Walmart first) and luckily got the last 10/22 they had. The line inside at the gun counter was about 3hours long but it was worth it. Bought a couple of boxes of ammo too with their Buy 1, get the 2nd half off.

My 2nd purchase was the better of the two. Over the Black Friday weekend there was also a Gun Show in my area. I went on Saturday morning, intending to buy a CCW pistol. As I walked into the first building, within the first 5 minutes I spotted a pristine condition Glock19 for a low price I couldn't believe--I had to ask the vendor if it was accurate.

In short, I got an excellent condition Glock19 with one mag for $360! :eek: I couldn't believe it myself. It was a used Gen3 model but in brand new condition, practically perfect and no blemishes whatsoever. So I bought a 2nd mag and a couple of boxes of 9mm and went on my way home :D

I heard a clip on the news today that there were so many firearm sales on Black Friday that the FBI was having trouble handling all the background checks. It was reported that at least one gun shop (I think in NJ) just stopped selling at 1:30 pm because of the backup on the checks.
